The Governor and the Thief.

Thomas Chittenden, the first Gov
ernor of Vermont, said to his wife one
night, "Mum" (his usual way of adj
dressing his wife), "who is that step
ping so softly in the kitchen?" It was
midnight. and every soul in the house
was asleep, save the Governor and his
companion. He left his bed as stealthily
as possible, followed the intruder into
the cellar, and without himself being
perceived, heard him taking large
pieces of pork out Of his meat barrel,
and showing them away in bag.
who's there ?" exclaimed the Gov
ernor, In. q stern. stentorian voice, and
the intruder began to make prepare

into corner as white as dead man.

errors wife went for the light. "What
are you waiting for. Mr.. Robber, Thief,
or Whatever your Christian name may
be?" said the Governor. The guilty
culprit shook as if his very joints would
be sundered. "Come, sir" continued
the Governor, "fll up your sack and
be of, and don't be going round dis
turbing honest people SO often, when
they want to taking repose." The
thief, dumfounded, now looked more
frightened than ever. aBe quick, SIR,
fill up, sir, shall make but few words
with you" He was compelled 70 com.
ply. "Have you got enough nowf Be
gone, now, in one minute. When you
have devoured this, come again in the
daytime, and I'll give you more rather
than to have my house pillaged at such
an hour as this. One thing more let
me tell you, and that is sure as fate, if
I ever have the smallest reason to
suspect you of another such act, the
law shall be put in force, and the dun
geon receive another occupant. Other
wise, you may still run at large for any
thing that I shall do" The man went
away, and was never afterward known
to commit an immoral act.

The Cork Oak.

The growth of cork oak in California
is not matter of experiment.; its suo-
cess was demonstrated long ago. The
distribution of cork-acorns by tbs Pat
ent Office about twenty-five years ago
may not have accomplished much in
other parts of the country, but it gave
us start, and there are now trees
yielding cork and bearing acorns at a
number of different places in the State.
There are trees growing on Mr.. Rich
ardson's place at San Gabriel There
were samples of cork and acorns shown
at the Sacramento Citrus Fair by H. A.
Messenger. of Calaveras County. there
are trees of similar age in Sonoma.
Santa Barbara and Tulare. and perhaps
other counties. The State University
Is growing seedlings from California
cork acorns. and will be likely to have
the trees for distribution next year.
There is no doubt about the adaptation
of the tree to the State as the widely
separated places named above all furn-
ish proper cond tions for its growth. 1t
is OF course crop of which one has to
wait some time to gather. and there
fore needs patience in the planter.
All the corkwood of commerce comes
from the Spanish Peninsula, where the
trees abound not only in cultivated
forests but also grow wild on the
mountains. The tree is like an Ameri-
can oak, with leaves similar to the
oak and acorns. 1t takes ten years
for the bark to become proper thick
ness to be manufactured into bottle
shoppers, life preservers and seine
corks. When stripped from the tree
it is to be boiled for two hours, cured
IN the sun for week and pressed into
fiat pieces for bailing and shipping.
The denuded trunk, like hen robbed
of her eggs. does not sulk and quit the
business, but throws out fresh cover
ing for afresh spoliaton. The tree has
been known to yield half ton of cork
wood. One pound of cork can be
manufactured into IA champagne
corks. The baled cork bark is sold to
cork manufacturing centres. The most
extensive mandatory in America is at
Pittsburg. Besides the ordinary de-
mands for cork bark, good supply OF
the buoyant material, after being burn
ed, to make it still lighter than the
original bark. is shipped to Canada and
New England, where it is made into
seine corks. The average annual inn
portation of corkwood into this
country, entirely at the port of New
York, is 10000 bales a year. A bale
weighs $50 pounds, and is worth
on this side of the water $40. making
total value of the importations of
S1.40O,000. 1t comes in duty Free

Where They Get The Scalps.


A good many years ago when an
Omaha militia company went out on a
three months scout on the plains the
bottle-scarred warriors failed to find q
single hostile Sioux whose scalp they
could take with propriety. So they
turned in to get their trophies from
their own camp, and CALAMITY cut the
ears of two or three Pawnee bucks
who accompanied the militia as guides.
These ears were brought back to
Omaha as proof of tile daring and
bravery of our volunteer protectors.
and although the Pawnee ears were not
large enough to cover them with glory.
they served their purpose. for time
at least, until it leaked out that they
had never ornamented the head of q
Sioux brave.
The Colorado militia are evidently
taking their pattern from the renowned
Omaha scouts of "a, and we shall not
be surprised if their trophies prove to
be nothing more than the ears Of some

Dairy Tests,

There is murmuring along the line
that the test business among cows is
being overdone. The death of several
remarkable animals soon after COM
pleting their great records has led some
men to argue that such forcing was
necessarily dangerous; some go as far
as to call it cruelty. One writer points
out what the average yield of dairy
cows is, to show by comparison what
a strain these must have been subject
ed to that have made such large rec
ords. While we are opposed to ''slop.
ping OVER in any direction, and are
ready to prevent cruelty in every pos
sible instance, we feel inclined to offer
few arguments on the other side of
this question,
We have not seen in accounts of the
death of these famous COWS any strong
evidence that death was the result of
high feeding, unless it was in the case
of Mercedes, and she was at the critic
al point of parturition when it is dan
gerous to rush any cow with high feed.
Many other COWS not so famous nor so
highly fed have died under the same
conditions, but the world did not hear
of it. Where is the forcing ?" The
cow was not obliged to eat more than
she wanted Where is cruelty The
COW was kept quiet and comforta-
BILE and was well cared for, and
the milk was drawn often enough to
relieve the udder from undue expan-
sion. Compare this treatment with the
course of training animals have to en-
dure to fit them for trial of speed or
draft. Cruelty to keep COW comfort
able and give her all she can eatP
Cruelty to take ninety or one hundred
pounds of milk from a COW in a day
when her appetite and digestion and
secretive organs are all favorably unit.
ed for it's productonP
We hear no complaint of cruelty
where cows are fattened for the butch
Ell. 1t has been argued that COW was
capable of giving a certain amount OF
milk and that high feeding shortened
her period of usefulness. Why not say
that stove is capable of making just
so much ashes, or of giving out just SO
much heat, when it all depends on
what and how much is put into it?
But even if this assumption is true
we keep cows for what we can get out
of them, and if we can get their full
yield in five years. it saves much time
and labor over taking ten years for it.
When these large records were first
published, certain class of writer's
were ready to advertise their stupidity
by questioning their truthfulness; and
this cry of over-feed ng and dangerous
| forcing seems like a branch of the
same idea, which is simply this: Some
one has better cow or better breed
than we have but we don't want to adj
nit it.-Practicdl Farmer
